Thai film wins top honor at Cannes

The hypnotic Thai film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives won the top honor at the Cannes Film Festival, while Academy Award winners Juliette Binoche and Javier Bardem earned acting honors. Uncle Boonmee, directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, traces the dreamlike final days of a man dying of kidney failure as the ghost of his dead wife returns to tend him and his long-lost son comes home in the form of a furry jungle spirit. "I didn't know the concept of cinema. With this award, I think I know a little more what cinema is, but it still remains a mystery," Weerasethakul said. (AP)
